1951-1964
1951 ORIENT STAR with original mechanical movement
ORIENT STAR was introduced as our “true star” product in every aspect. It has a small case size and a simple, well-established, attractive and timeless dial design, distinguished by its blue hands and fine lines on the small second hand.
1957 ORIENT STAR Dynamic
1959 ORIENT ROYAL
1961 Development of automatic movement
1964 Grand Prix 100
1967-1972
1967 Fineness
The Fineness automatic day-date watch was one of the slimmest automatic Japanese-made watches created between 1967 to 1974, during a period of thin dress watch popularity. It had thinner movement than other ORIENT watch models, including using miniaturized parts and minimized space between gears, and used a single-piece case construction with no separate case back.

1970 Chrono Ace Jaguar Focus
1971 Launch of Caliber 46 Series
1972 Mexican

1976 ORIENT Multi Year Calendar
One of the most popular ORIENT watches ever created is the Multi Year Calendar, produced in 1976. The unique calendar function shows days 1 to 31, with only one crown adjustment needed per month.
1976 Touchtron
1991-1996
1991 ORIENT Mon Bijou
The ORIENT Mon Bijou is a Skeleton watch with mechanical movement displayed within a beautiful, transparent case, and each individual part is manually polished—which made for a limited production volume and would normally be priced higher. However, the Mon Bijou remains an attainable ORIENT model, making it as true to our brand mission now as it was when it was created in 1991.
1996 Movement with power reserve
2004-2016
2004 Revival of ROYAL ORIENT
The first ROYAL ORIENT was produced in 1959. Our first waterproof model had a very thin case. In 2004, the revival model was launched. It featured our newest and finest movement at the time, and was positioned as the most “Royal” of all ORIENT watches.
